"So do this in your next joyful moment--take pause
pay attention to the constellation of light
shining singularly into your life."
Practice, practice, practice...
this is not automatic behavior in my world.
I suspect it might be the same for you.
Work the muscle of pause...
perform repetitions of paying attention to the sparkle.
"Let this memory embed itself into your body
as a fiber of truth you return to when all alone
and full of self-doubt, . . .even if all you have
to hold on to is this one twitch of joy..."
Turn that twitch into an inner tattoo
maybe on the back of your hand so you see it often?
Let it repeat itself over and over with your breath.
Recall it whenever you sit down or change position.
Remember it when your joints object to your movements.
Let it reverberate with every step you take.
There are numerous ways to embed it into our bones.
It's more than worth the effort...to harness joy;
to carry our inherent goodness on our sleeves
where all can see....especially ourselves.
